Copy your mounted SFS to a new directory. Open the new directory, which contains root, and launch. The "invalid directory" notice means that you're opening a directory that doesn't contain the desired root directory.

This was the code that I submitted a while back for _re_moving existing packages. Could be modified for the same purpose by replacing rm with mv
(and you probably won't need the reverse dependency check)

RSH: You can report bugs, but you are NOT free to post new versions of my script. You can do whatever you like for your personal copy. REMOVE IT PROMPTLY.

What does this mean?

Ok, before i will come to your post, let me make something clear.

After my last post i was convinced you will come to a point of view to realize that there's something to be changed/fixed in gnewpet-6.0. I was willing (right then, when you do upload the new version) to give my grateful thanks to you, for having an ear to my suggestions and ideas and for doing some work on these suggestions and ideas of mine. I do know different (strange) behavior coming from other forum members like sending pm to user to keep information away from me

Though you are sometimes a bit "lazy" you did get your "ass up" as you did see the usefulness of these my suggestions and ideas. Seems like you do need sometimes a second thought about things - but that's absolutely fine with me.

I was willing to remove the script (including my modifications) after you publish your fixed .pet because just to prevent users to destroy the fixed gnewpet by downloading and installing this script. There has been no need to invite me to do that with "NOT" and "REMOVE IT PROMPTLY"

You still remember where it has had its start? A topic of mine, asking a (now to me) simple question about shellscript - and then came recobayu

hi everyone,
i'm sorry where to put my question, i hope in this thread is ok.
i finished download aqualung with ppm, and it was installed on my laptop.
now, i look at /root/.package/aqualung-0.9b11-Lucid.files there are many rows representating the file i download.
it's like this:

actually, i can put them one by one. but if there are some script, it can be more fast and interesting.
how to repackage again in a pet or a folder with a script? so i don't need download that aqualung again.
thanks

Then i did made suggestions that has had its result in batchmode of gnewpet-3.1.

So, the basic idea of batchmode functionality is "owned" by me.

New suggestions of mine did result in refining the GUI and publishing gnewpet-4.1

So, the basic idea of the new GUI is "owned" by me.

And so on...

Version 5.1 was the last one i have had seen as i discovered Version 5.9. Then i did made some suggestions that results in version 6.0 (after a second tought about things)

So the basic idea of "relative path" functionality is "owned" by me.

So lets assume murga-linux.com forum is our employer and we would get payed for this our work in here. This would mean every idea and every attached .pet and/or code would be owned by this our employer.

After this much suggestions and ideas (not only of myself) to call this one "my script" is a bit "highly used" - didn't you mean that as well.

I take gnewpet 6.0 (6.1) as a script (application), owned by many forum members and (much appreciated) nicely worked out by jpeps. This is the status quo.

For today/tonight and in my special case there is something more to say:

Today/tonight i did work for hours and hours, to get your gnewpet-6.0 working and to get you convinced that there is a need to fix/change something. While i was coding, improving and posting results etc. did you execute small talk about things that should be the only one way but obviously had been the impossible other way.

I did neglected some of my main work on LazY Puppy meanwhile, because i do like the gnewpet (now fixed) that much, so i had decide to make this one a part of "my" LazY Puppy.

And then, after a full night without sleep, getting this one finally working and then fixed, came you and

How shall i take this from you? As a declaration of war (in a lower use)?

"Different countries, different languages, different language-basements, different cultures etc." could result in much ugly misunderstandings.

Short story:

I was just and you came along with

This is not a basement to get me to remove the script. I will edit the post to inform users not to download the script. That's all that i can do for you and "your" gnewpet" at this time. Sorry, maybe a second thought (by you) will do it? _________________LazY PuppyRSH's DNASARA B.

Apps typically evolve from the input of the community...namely requests and bug notifications from testing. I just posted 6.0 today after you requested a version that would work with mounted files. That required some major revisions. You found a trivial bug associated with an overlooked path in a /tmp file (although you didn't know it). I'm sure there are others.

The fix you seem so enamored with pointed to the symptom, but not the problem. Willy nilly adding an unnecessary path variable may seem brilliant to you, but can break the script in other ways. Bragging about it being "perfect" and not needing "any other improvements" sounds to me like mental illness. The bug was trivial to begin with, in light of all the additional code required to respond to your request. Calling me a lazy ass again sounds like mental illness.

Your initial problem wasn't related to the trivial bug, it was related to your not understanding how to open the correct directory...which caused the "invalid directory" error. I put that in so people would know if they loaded the incorrect directory. See....I was thinking of you. That had noting to do with it copying files from /root instead of ./root.

The last developments of gnewpet were responses from pemasu to include builtins, and then smokey1 to allow updates for the builtins. I don't recall getting any responses from them about being a lazy ass.

Prior to that, I responded to your request for a checklist. That went through a number of revisions until I figured out a way to do it. I guess I owe the solution to your brilliance for requesting it.

I believe I posted your name somewhere giving credit for finding a link bug (needed a cp -P) and offering requests, which stimulated the initial coding. We're all indebted to you. All my work comes out of the ideas of other coders and testers. There's a difference between offering a request and writing a finished app, though.

You're the first member I've come come across on the forum that would see nothing wrong with posting a new version of someone elses' work without their consent. I've seen plenty of posts in a thread with something like an improved gui, but even those are done respectfully... never a new version posted somewhere else; and your sense of entitlement because of requests that you feel gives you ownership of the code? Enough....

Again, the app is posted by myself (yes....a lazy ass) for the puppy community, and I, not you, will maintain it. I rely on other community members testing it out and offering suggestions. I code simply because I enjoy it. I have absolutely no concerns if you use it or don't use it.

Welcome back , I found this very useful, saves me constantly having to use the ppm while I'm working on test installs,
the only thing I found is if the app saves its setting to a file that was installed, it will have those settings,
I've only come across this once with a game I made into a pet, but that is a minor problem, keep up the good work.
